Bio
Grew up in Brockport.
Brush with greatness when the a cappella folk group I sang in as a preteen opened a concert for The Letterman. Working bands
in high school and college. Adulthood and parenting responsibilities reduced my playing to occasional jams and pick up gigs.
Then one day Bob's Brother asked me to sit in. The rest is history in the making.
